ABOUT ONLINE ABSENTEE SEALED BIDS
Online sealed/absentee bids may be placed until the real time auction begins. After the auction starts, you may place absentee bids by phone/in person up until the lot is "on the block". Sealed bids are invisible. Registration is not required to place online sealed bids. You can use a temporary name and pass phrase.
Remember your temporary name and pass phrase as it can be used to delete or revise previous left bids.
